Glenn has long warned his listeners about the World Economic Forum's threat to individual liberty and freedom. Now, many of these goals are materializing into actual policies. This should deeply concern you.
In particular, Glenn has been focused on exposing the global threat of the World Economic Forum's Great Reset, the agenda proposed by the World Economic Forum in 2020, urging leaders to take advantage of the COVID-19 crisis to restructure the "world order" to bring about a leftist Utopia.
Below are four goals that emerged from the World Economic Forum and the Great Reset and are now being implemented, posing severe threats to YOUR freedom and privacy.
Digital currency

Digital Currency took center stage during the 2023 Davos Summit with many proponents arguing for the adoption of "Central Bank Digital Currencies" or CBDCs. One article titled "Key Takeaways from The Davos Agenda" from this year's summit cited a BIS study that found:
86% of central banks are now exploring the benefits and drawbacks of a CBDC. And about 60% of central banks (up from 42% in 2019) are conducting experiments or proofs-of-concept, while 14% are moving forward to development and pilot arrangements.
This should concern you greatly.
China is one of the leading nations in implementing CBDC, already launching pilot programs in 15 of its provinces. The government has complete control, not only through determining the artificial value of the digital currency, but moreover, through being able to track every transaction. Personal finances, under this system, are laid bare before the government.
If the U.S. adopts a CBDC, which would be comparable to a "digital dollar," the government would be able to determine the value of goods through determining the value of its currency. The government could deflate the value of its currency in "government-approved" sectors while inflating the value in others to limit purchasing power—take guns as an example.
This type of monetary control is something the Soviet Union could have only dreamed of. If our personal financial freedom comes under digital control of the government, it is only a short amount of time before the rest of our freedoms go with it.
Carbon pricing
The World Economic Forum has long promoted "carbon pricing" as a means of reducing greenhouse emissions. Carbon pricing usually takes one of two forms. Many European countries have adopted the first form called "emissions trading systems" or ETS. Companies that produce low carbon emissions are given carbon "allowances" that they can then trade or sell to higher-emission-producing companies. The second way is through a carbon tax, which taxes companies based on the number of emissions they produce.
Why should this concern you?
Carbon taxes give the government the ability to stifle industries that they deem "dangerous" to climate change. In one fell swoop, the government could place an undue burden on coal and gas industries while financially benefiting the "government-approved" electricity industry. This is a direct attack on the free market, giving the government the power, rather than the consumer, to financially determine which industries flourish.
Brain transparency

During last week's Glenn TV episode on AI, Glenn shared a disturbing video from the 2023 Davos summit introducing "brain transparency" technology. This technology is able to track your feelings and face shapes of who you are thinking about. It can even detect your pin number from your thoughts!
The video introduced a possible way of implementing this technology in the workplace. Your employer could send a negative signal to your brain when you are unfocused or daydreaming about a fellow employee, or your employer could send a reward signal to your brain when you are being productive. However, this technology could be used for even more nefarious purposes, such as propaganda and mind control.
China is already using this technology with factory employees, mandating employees wear hats with this technology to track their productivity. Given the World Economic Forum's goal of cracking down on "disinformation" using "hate speech laws," it is deeply concerning to consider how governments could use this technology to further this goal.
Bugs as the gateway to government-controlled farming
The World Economic Forum highlights countries, like those within the EU, that promote insects as an alternative, "green" source of protein. In its 2023 Global Risks Report, the World Economic Forum calls for the "transition to net-zero, nature-positive food" to fight "food insecurity." Of course, this entails the crackdown on emissions-producing food like beef, chicken, milk, and eggs, and the introduction of "sustainable" protein sources, like bugs.
The issue with this goal isn't the unappetizing nature of insects—it's the control given to the government to implement this "food transition." Alarm bells should always ring when you hear of government control over food industries—just ask the Ukrainian farmers during the Soviet Union. The more food systems are nationalized, the greater the likelihood of poverty, food scarcity, and socialist policies.
We are already seeing the government in the Netherlands buy out Dutch farms to transition into "sustainable farming." Will the U.S. be next?

I recently read an article by John Whitehead with the Rutherford Institute titled, "Evil Walks Among Us: Child Trafficking Has Become Big Business in America." The facts listed in this article are horrifying. This is what's happening to our society—children are being targeted and sold for sex in America, every day.
Every two minutes, a child is bought and sold for sex. Hundreds of young girls and boys, some as young as nine, are being bought and sold for sex—sometimes as many as 20 times a day. Adults purchase children for sex at least 2.5 million times a year, in the U.S. alone.
Every two minutes, a child is bought and sold for sex.
In Georgia, it is estimated that 7,200 men, half of them in their 30s, seek to purchase sex with an adolescent girl every month, 300 times a day. On average, a child will be raped by 6,000 men, during a five-year period. It's estimated that at least 100,000 to 500,000 children, girls and boys, are bought and sold for sex in the U.S. every year. 36 percent of the children in the sex slave trade are boys.
This is happening in our society. Our society is corrupt and broken.
Adults purchase children for sex at least 2.5 million times a year, in the U.S. alone.
Moreover, our children are being targeted for sexual exploitation in our homes, in our schools. Anyone who has a child, who has been exposed to porn online knows that it spins their heads like crazy. Now they're being introduced to this porn, in our schools packaged as "sex education" that is a Trojan horse for the progressive left's radical ideology—from a trusted teacher. Our youth are in trouble.
The growth of porn and sexual indoctrination in our schools is making our kids more at risk of being trafficked. The number of kids at risk of being trafficked or have already been sold into the sex slave trade would fill 1,300 school buses. This is happening online. It could be happening in your own home to your kids, where they're being groomed through gaming or through social media. One in five kids online are sexually propositioned over gaming platforms and social media.
It is big business—for girls and boys.
This is happening here, in our homes, in our schools, along our borders, on our turf. We Americans are consuming and buying it. We are responsible for our children, and we can't stand for this. We have to do something.
As we roll into Valentines Day, Glenn discusses a new study showing conservatives are happier and have better marriages than liberals.
Numerous studies have shown conservatives tend to champion marriage and family values alongside traditional family roles, while liberals tend to value independence, singleness, and non-traditional gender roles. As Glenn said on yesterday's radio program:
Republicans and Democrats view gender roles dramatically differently—we understand that there are only two genders. Republicans tend to embrace traditional gender roles, while Democrats tend to question them.
The results are the same across the board: marriage, family, and traditional gender roles result in greater levels of happiness than those values heralded by liberals.
Here are 9 facts from the studies showing that, contrary to our cultural narrative, the values championed by conservatives are the foundation for building a happy and fulfilling life.
Republicans are more satisfied in their relationships than Democrats.
According to a new study conducted in affiliation with the American Enterprise Institute, Republican men report being the most satisfied in their marriages out of those surveyed (48 percent). Republican women are in a close second at 42 percent.
Married Democrat women are the most dissatisfied with their relationship.
In contrast, according to the same study, Republican married couples, only 29 percent of Democrat married women say they are completely satisfied with their relationship. Only 36 percent of Democrat married men say they are satisfied.
The "Republican Advantage" in marriage is across the board.
Studies have shown that the Republican advantage in relationship satisfaction holds even regardless of differences in "educational attainment, race and ethnicity, age, and religious affiliation."
The "Republican Advantage" stems from conservatives championing "family-first" values.
Studies have found that conservatives are more likely to embrace the "family-first" values that direct them towards marriage and fulfilling family lives.
Married couples in general report more satisfaction in their relationships than Americans in other types of relationships.
40 percent of married Americans report being “completely” satisfied with their relationship with their spouse, compared to 33 percent of cohabitating couples and only 24 percent of those in committed relationships who are not living together.
Democrats, on the other hand, champion values that steer them away from marriage.
Unlike conservatives who champion family-first values, Democrats are drawn to individualist values and believe independence, freedom, and work will make them happy. For example, the left-leaning publication Bloomberg published an anecdotally-based survey of women titled, "Women Who Stay Single and Don’t Have Kids Are Getting Richer” and featured childless, single women who claim personal happiness. Liberal media also celebrates singleness and divorce compared to marriage and family.
Conservatives are more likely to be married than liberals.
Conservatives aged 18-55 are 20 percent more likely to be married than liberals. This comes as little surprise because, as mentioned previously, conservatives tend to champion "family-first" values that steer them towards marriage. Liberals, on the other hand, are more likely to remain single.
Conservatives are more likely to be satisfied with their families than liberals.
Conservatives are 18 percent more likely to be satisfied with their families than liberals. Studies show that liberals tend to reverse gender roles, with the "stay-at-home husband" trend complementing the "working woman." Research has shown this type of role reversal leads to a greater sense of dissatisfaction in marriage than traditional gender roles typically held by conservatives.
Liberals more likely to struggle with their mental health than conservatives.
Liberals are about 19 percent less likely to be “completely satisfied” with their mental health than conservatives. W. Bradford Wilcox, a senior fellow of the Institute for Family Studies and University of Virginia professor of sociology, attributes the disparity in overall happiness between conservatives and liberals to their differing views in marital status and family satisfaction. He wrote, "The secret to happiness, for most men and women, involves marriage and a life based around the family. " It is no wonder that both conservative men and women who champion family-first values report higher levels of happiness than liberal counterparts.
